No Acorns?! Squirrels are starving!


Everybody feed your local squirrels this year! There is some sort of crazy tree nut problem where none of the trees have produced anything this year. Supposedly it was supposed to be a big year? No one is overly alarmed yet, but there are whispers of some sort of horrible climate calamity! To be continued next year...

On the other hand, I have seen some SERIOUSLY FAT squirrels this year, in Boulder and in Madison. They get lots of college student trash to eat, I'm sure.

Is that why the squirrels ate all our tomatoes this year? Probably not, but still... we've never had so many squirrels in our garden as this year, and we hardly got any tomatoes for ourselves! I did see the squirrels burying nuts this fall, though, so we must have gotten nuts here.
